Introduction
Inspired by the Filament Spindle MK1 by makerbot and the Printable Horizontal Filament Spool by Spacexula, this provides a printable built-in filament management solution. Hopefully bringing an end to tangled messes and bizarre hanging contraptions!
Planned Features
- can either be attached to the Mendel frame or sit under it
- stackable for multiple spools and/or multiple extruder configurations
- can either feed directly into a normal extruder or provide a mounting spot for a bowden fed extruder motor
- takes up less space and more stable than the similar in concept Mendel Feed Spool
- all cad files created using OpenSCAD
Parts
Printed Parts
So far the following parts have been optimized and converted to OpenSCAD...
Requires mendel.inc and mendel.conf from the Parameterized Mendel project.

Assembly

TODO
- order vitamins
- make some modifications to Printable Horizontal Filament Spool models (might need diagonal reinforcement?)
